i:.il,I.t Of Catfle by os,,reD,on,

An English journal In answer to a cor
respondent gives the manner of arriving at
the weight of cattle by measurement. To
find the weight of fat animal the square
of the girth is multiplied by the length,
and the product by .23s. The explanation,
which will be interesting to many feeders
and breeders, is as follows:
The length and depth OF the ANNA be-
ing measured-the first from the shot der
top to the tail-head, and the second m
mediately behind the shoulder-the g
into the form of of cylinder, cr nearly SC
The rule for finding the eonte-ts OF d
cylinder is TO find the area of the end, and
10 multiply that sum by the length. The
common method is TO multiply the square
IF the diameter by 1854 the area of a
circle whose diameter is unity, and this
product 10y the length for the solid con-
tents.
But in measuring cattle the gir;h or cir
cumfer nee, ana not tie diameter. is OBJ
tanned; and as the rule for finding the
diameter correctly from the circumstance
involves i,selI into long decimal multipliers
the process, especially when feet and odI
inches are the dimensions, is complicated
and tedious. The more simple method.
therefore, is to multiply the square of the
circum ference by O.195775, and that
product multiplied by the length gives the
contents; which again multiplied by tile
established weight OF cubic foot or other
measure will give the weight OF the ami
NAL.
To find the proportional weight of a
cubic foot: Find by the above rule the
number of cubic feet which the animal
contains; and the former divided by the
latter will give the weight per cubic foot.

A MODERN
MAGDALEN.

BY NJ. C. FARLEY.

CHAPTER XYI-fCoNTINUED.
Below stairs there is commotion, and
hurry, and hustle, and more or less
confusion. kibbey is master OF the
situation. He neither loses his pres
ence Of mind nor his amiable placidity
of manner.
And he orders his staff of servants
after the fashion of great general on
the battlefield.
kibbey does not suspect that he is
being watched. Nevertheless such is
the fact
The supper-room is marvellous in its
arrangement. kibbey looks it over
with the eve of a connoisseur. Moth
ing is wanting to add to its perfection.
People stream in and out; they eat,
drink, laugh, and go away again, only
to return little later and repeat the
eating and drinking, the laughing and
chatterlng
SO the hours wear away.
Madam Dundas refreshes herself
with siesta behind the curtains Ia the
dining room, and comes out again gra-
cious and smiling to her guests.
Miss Lafarge glows like a star of the
brightest radiance Her blue eyes are
clear and bright as summer skies. She
smiles like an angel, and quite forgets
for the time being to snap her little
white teeth at anybody.
She is secretly determined in her
own mind to bring the gallant Captain
to her feet tonight, but this task is
more difficult than abe at first imagines
it will he be.
I ne Captain has angled some in his
own time, and though he at once nib
bles delicately at the bait thrown oat
by his fair guest, he is too experienced
fish to at once swallow it, hook and
all. Loo watches the pair secretly.
She loses hope and almost believes
that the Captain is in love with Miss
Lafarge, after all. But, outwardly,
she is as gay as the rest of them, and
never loses dance, be it waltz, or gal
OPP, or the stately old cotillion. She
receives enough attention to turn the
head of another girl and enjoys it
after a fashion, too. But she is not
sorry when the clock strikes one and
the jewellers begin to dispense. Still,
the Captain hovers near Miss Lafarge.
Madam sits in great carved chair
near the open door of the hall as the
guests come down the stairs, wrapped
and ready for departure.
Carriage for Ferndeau," Carriage
for Haverly" Carriage for Stanwood,"
cry the different voices of the coach
men, rs the carr ages roll up before
the entrance and come to halt.
The short, fat man who has occasion
ally been seen moving unobtrusively
among the servants during the latter
part Of the evening is standing in the
shadow of the staircase. Quite acct
dentally, of course. kibbey, the butler,
has just approached him for a moment.

A rural justice of the peace, Squire

from Vermont, fourisbed amid the
chills and fevers on the banks OF the
Wabash. A case of great local interest
was being tried before him without a
jury. The attorney for the plaintiff bad
spoken for two hours and appeared
as if just getting started in his exor-
dunn. The defendants counsel with
a huge roll of manuscript, sat lear
him taking page on page OF notes. The
court room was crowded. AS the
hands OF the clock pointed to the hour
Of noon Squire E imunds arose, mo-

Funeral Baked Meats.

From the Allentown (Penn) Register.
A very large funeral took place re-
Gently in a township in the upper end
of Montgomery County, and the fol-
lowing list of things provided for the
entertainment and refreshment OF the
mourners is absolutely correct. BY
the time the funeral was over the sup
ply was pretty well exhausted. This is
what was consumed: One hundred and
twenty six pies and cakes, SO loaves
OF bread, 10 dozen light cakes, O dozen
rolls, 10 dozen mixed cakes, 2 dozen
pound cakes Il pound each). 4 hams,
40 pounds roast beef, a cheese, 10
pounds dried peaches, pounds
prunes, Is pounds raisins (for pies),
II pounds Of sugar used on table, be-
sides % pounds used in baking, 6
quarts ground coffee, besides milk, rel
ishes, potatoes, and lots of other
things good to be eaten. Eight women

ceased, spent the whole of the day be-
fore the funeral in preparing, cooking
